Arsenal vs Manchester United Match Prediction

By Bharath Ramm R

This epic fourth round clash in the FA Cup witnesses two giants of English football going up against each other. Manchester United have the need to preserve a 100% record under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, while Arsenal look to build on the near perfect performance against Chelsea last weekend. The Gunners had a perfect evening against the Blues but it is difficult to repeat the same against another top opponent. Solskjaer may see the FA Cup as a great chance to win the trophy that he won twice as a player with United. Watford are the only team to beat Arsenal in an FA Cup match at home in the last five years. Our pick is to go for a draw.

Manchester United have been excellent going forward under Solskjaer – even if they have largely faced mediocre opposition. Arsenal have a strong reason to expect more goals in this match, as the team has been playing an attacking brand of football under Unai Emery. I would pick over 2.5 goals in the match.

Draw – 13/5

Total goals over 2.5 – 13/20
